Today I got PCC and POF request through Postal Mail... they have also sent me a letter in Arabic for applying KSA PCC.

PCC from PAK and KSA
POF (6 months Bank statement)

Congrats Cyra :)for this one more step ahead ,,,hopefully you will get MR within 30 days...insha Allah
In your profile status you mentioned (PCC & POF Request 7.10.2013) and you are saying that today you have received PCC
Do you mean that your PCC letter is dated 07/10/2013 and you received it on 04/11/2013. please give your feedback...
Also it is very strange for me that they sent it by regular mail...these days almost everyone is receiving everything by email only....
Can you check your GCMS if any email is registered or your consultant forgot to mention in your case when applied....
If there is no email registered in your case then do it without single day delay.....because you should receive your MR by email and then you will have enough time to manage medical appointment.....it is my suggestion the rest is up to you
Goodluck...and send PCC and POF ASAP
 
People whom had send an inquiry, how many days for you to get a response.
My lawyer he send one four months ago and no reply then he send a reminder two weeks back still no reply is it possible.
Or ....

Sir

This is true that As on June 30,2013 they were having 66,610/- applicants in pipe line.
As on September 29,2013 they had 62,000/- Applicants ( Ref Speech by Minister Alexander on Sep 29,2013) - Now the issue is with new Visa target of 47,300/- for 2013 , can they clear all back log - ie by end of December 2013 , their outstanding must be around 55,000 applicants (ie Pre Feb 27 + MI1 + MI2 + MI3 + New Intake of 2013 + Federal Skilled Trades Workers)

I personally see that this back log will be cleared by June 2015

Lets hope for the best.

Stay Blessed - Ameen

Hi Zeeshananis, hope this helps :)
Let me knw if you need any clearification.

HOW TO OBTAIN POLICE CLEARANCE
It is much easier to do this process when you are still in Saudi Arabia rather than waiting until you get home. It takes around 2 weeks to complete this process

Step 1: EMBASSY
Make an appointment with your consulate at your embassy to write a letter requesting police clearance and confirming your citizenship, country of birth, passport
number and Iqama number.

Step 2: Attestation from MOFA
Take the letter from your embassy to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs located in Nassariyah (Riyadh) where it will be stamped with their official stamp. This service cost 30 SAR. MOFA timings from 7:30 to 1300hrs

Step 3: FINGERPRINT AT POLICE STATION
Remember to take with you embassy letter with MOFA attestation, original Iqama, 2 x passport photos and a copy of your passport.
You will have finger printing done and the process takes between 30 – 60 mins. They will give you a slip at the Police Station so you can pick within 1 week.Female and Male sections are there for finger prints.
LOCATION map Coordinates: 24°37'35"N 46°42'55"E
Its in Dirah

Step 4: TRANSLATION
When you have your completed police clearance certificate you will have to have it translated from Arabic. There are many certified Translators on
Takhasousi Street and Olaya.. You can ask them for Translation which will cost around 50 SAR per page and can be done same day or within 1 day.

you r right as my letter dated 7/10/2013 and recieved as Mail on 4/11/2013 by my consultant in PAK. The only reason of sending this through Mail is that they have sent me a letter for PCC which is in Arabic (hard Copy). May be applicants in KSA are recieving like this.
I cant see any email on my CAIPS note.. I will call my consultant and make sure that they have mentioned in updated documents. Thanks for ur concern.. good that u mentioned.

Dear All KSA Expatriates And All Experts need help

I am in Riyadh - KSA on a 1 year contract and I don't know whether I will complete the contractual period. The boiling point is .. I don't have any permanent / Temporary address that I can write on Form .. Every one here has P.O Box address. And in form it is clearly mention that "Do not use P.O Box addresses.

Now what I can write on form ... :-\ Please help .. It's urgent

Hi Zeshan, I know how the addresses are written in the Arab countries. I think, i have one way out for you. What i think is that your address is written something like the following:

Mr. XYZ
P.O Box 111111
Riyadh 123456
KSA

If the above is correct then do one thing. Add your residential address along with this and present it like this:

MR. XYZ
House Number 1
Street Number 2
And then continue with the same:
P.O Box 111111
Riyadh 123456
KSA

By this method, the will have no objection in the address and in case if you receive any letter from them by postal mail (which is not the usual practice anymore), it will have the P.O Box so the Postal Department will drop it in the write Box Number.
